Did you know most people take 6 to 9 months to find a real estate project worth investing in? For example, professional real estate investors look at 1,000+ projects per year but end up making 1-3 investments.
If you want to be successful in real estate investing, learn how to invest and achieve returns like the professionals.
We at Denzity have put together an eBook to guide you along your real estate investment journey. Before you look for real estate investment, have a think:

A couple of months ago, we shared “Real Estate Investment Insights And Access A Global Community Of Experts,” “Find The Right Experts,” and “The Forces That Will Shape The Future Of Real Estate Investing.” Those posts contain our view on how technology transforms real estate experts’ roles and their impact on the world of real estate investing.
Today, we want to tell you more about the real estate experts we at Denzity look forward to working with – think of this as our Wishlist.
The digital age experts
As we enter an era of fast-paced digitization, it is hard to predict the outlook of the real estate sector. Growing uncertainties on how technology will shape the real estate industry started with tech companies, like Zillow and Airbnb, which disrupted their sub-market inside the real estate sector.
While real estate experts fear what big disruptor is next, digital-age experts are ready to embrace and adapt to new technologies that improve their performance and service to customers. Change is inevitable: accept that the old ways of doing business might not work and focus on integrating technology so that you don’t fall behind and miss opportunities.
The core values of world-class experts
As the world becomes more competitive, experts have curated a leading position to deliver excess value compared with their competitors. As their top priority is to exceed customer expectations, they place the needs of each customer above their own.
Having worked with many experts around the world, we’ve identified eight key qualities they tend to have:
These are the types of attributes we at Denzity are looking for in real estate experts.
Our 2020 Wishlist
As mentioned in “Year-End Review 2019”, our top priority in 2020 is to broaden the pool of excellent, reliable insights directly from experts (real estate agents/brokers, institutional firms, and transactional advisors) helps address real estate enthusiasts’ uncertainties and frustrations with market research, sourcing experts & projects, and conducting due diligence in real estate investing.
As we station in Hong Kong, we start by focusing on the topics that Hong Kong real estate enthusiasts are interested in. Topics such as:
We strongly believe that building this ecosystem, which encourages contribution and transparency within the real estate industry, can speed up learning and provide better clarity for everyone involved.

We looking forward to speaking further.

Welcome back! I hope you take some time to rest, refresh, and recharge during the holidays. If you have been following the news lately, you’ve likely experienced some good and bad, ups and downs. There are so many uncertainties with global events, such as Brexit, US-China trade war, potential recession coming, and possible US-Iran war. It is hard to predict how 2020 will plan out.
During these troubled times, any organization that embodies positive leadership qualities will strive, especially in real estate where good thought leadership will help navigate our rapidly changing, complex, and fragmented industry.
After chatting with some experienced industry leaders, we have identified three critical aspects:
1. Be at the forefront, as a true leader
A leader needs to be at the forefront of the team. From Jim Collins’ book “Good To Great”, he describes the “Level 5 Leadership” of an organization (the ultimate top leaders) as having 7 key attributes:
(i) Be ambitious for the organization to excel but modest about what you contribute.
(ii) Be fanatically driven, obsessed even, to produce exceptional results on a sustainable basis.
(iii) Build successors to be even more successful.
(iv) Share the praise amongst the team when things go well.
(v) Be happy to take the blame when things go wrong.
(vi) Never have larger than life personalities.
(vii) Greatness comes from quiet, hard work, rather than heroic acts.
For more information, I would suggest checking out his book. As a true leader, you need to set yourself at the highest standard to allow your team to follow.
2. Transparent communication
As a leader, you might face stress or a tough decision to make. Do not put the problems just on your shoulders – share the burden with your team and tell-it-like-it-is to ensure the free flow of information. By sharing decision-making tasks and involving multiple people during brainstorming, your team can generate ideas freely in your organization to help solve problems together.
3. Actively listen to your team and make this a priority
In this environment, you need to evolve with the market swiftly and adapt to change with growth in mind. To spot these subtle movements, you need to actively listen to your team carefully. Exceptional leaders regularly check-in with their team. From their conversations, you might find cues in your team spot that you have not. Also, learn what they suggest (process and tools) that might help your organization be more productive.
Great leaders, whether you are in the real estate or the PropTech sector, need to continually find ways to improve and respond to the market so that their organization will be at the forefront of the exciting changes. You, as a leader, are in charge of finding the areas where change is needed. Be the version of yourself and strive for betterment.
As a leader, what is your biggest pain point? What innovation do you hope to see more of within your organization and the sector? Let us know in the comments below.

2019 is almost over, and we are only a couple of weeks away from turning 1-year old (Woohoo!). We want to thank everyone who has encouraged and supported us along this journey. We have spent some time reflecting on our journey and want to share our exciting plans for 2020.
At first, we set out to build a comprehensive real estate fractional ownership database worldwide. By aggregating hundreds of real estate fractional ownership platforms scattered worldwide, our portal was designed for you to find everything in one place and in an organized manner to streamline your research and due diligence process before investing in real estate fractional ownership. You can get a better grasp of the industry landscape and spot opportunities easier and faster. We were confident that our platform would become a key enabler in this sector.
However, after launching our beta and getting feedback, we realized that our platform has yet to establish an essential element: forming a close-knit community of real estate enthusiasts and real estate experts by encouraging contribution and transparency. Community engagement enables deep, meaningful relationships to build trust and confidence. Having a pool of excellent, reliable insights directly from experts (real estate agents/brokers, institutional firms, and transactional advisors) helps address your uncertainties and frustrations with market research, sourcing experts & projects, and conducting due diligence in real estate investing. This access can speed up your learning and provide you better clarity for your real estate exploration.
This “Aha” moment led us to launch the Denzity Forum last month with a handful of users and experts. Not only that, users found the answers useful, the experts found the information exchange meaningful! So, we have decided to expand our scope from real estate fractional ownership to include more segments of the real estate sector. Our top priority in 2020 is to broaden this community by empowering a cosmopolitan environment that gives you access to a growing range of insights and projects directly from experts worldwide. We believe this direction will significantly benefit you and the real estate sector worldwide in the long run.
We are excited about next year! If you want to find real estate insights, find potential real estate projects, or connect with link-minded real estate enthusiasts and real estate experts, then our platform can help you to achieve your goal.
